Speaking of atmosphere, I drove past AG last night on the way to, and on the way back from my mother's house. It was like the lights are on, but nobody is home! I know a game was taking place, but there was not a sound coming from the crowd. Genuine question - have they installed some sort of noise pollution control that stops sound emanating from the ground? They probably had their mouths full munching each other off. |

Regardless, you have to admit the atmosphere does drop when we get a 10K+ gate? As far as this mailshot is concerned, why don't the club attractively seek fans who want to be added to the mailing list. You didn't mention 'this time of season' in your original message. This was what I responded too. Don't alter facts to respond Topper. By the way, did you go Saturday? You would have loved it. Much better than using a keyboard. Mind reading is not a skill I've developed so far. As far as Saturday was concerned unless you're now stalking me I assume you haven;t a clue what I was doing. |

I was at Oldham, but was asking if you were as you would have loved the atmosphere. Just as I have enjoyed the atmosphere at home games. The atmosphere is what you me and everyone else makes it. Just a shame that you can't answer a simple question, and then the ' I'm a better supporter than you ' lobby come out of the woodwork. As others have said, with numbers increasing the vibe gets better and better. That was why I queried why you think it gets worse with over 10000 there. Great time to be a gashead. |

OK, if it pleases I can confirm the atmosphere never drops when we get a 10K+ gate, as far as answering questions, it's a fans forum not a Q&A session, that's for Wael & DC to hold.

No, it's your opinions I find a bit odd. Hence my question

Maybe the fact that large attendances usually occur as a result of the game being really important might explain why the atmosphere might not be as great as expected? I tend to be so nervous and the stakes seem so high at the time that I can hardly speak let alone get excited or join in with the signing. For example, I would not say that I particularly enjoyed our visits to Wembley as the tension really got to me- I would say that the overriding emotion was a sense of relief once the result was clear. I keep saying that the next time I go, I am really going to try to enjoy it but I am not convinced that is going to happen. Whilst every game is ultimately important, with the team doing so well at the moment and the inevitable feel good factor producing larger attendances, perhaps the atmosphere will be better as people like me will not see the outcome as do or die but more a celebration of how well we are doing and, no anxiety about promotion/relegation at the same time.

Can I be a killjoy? I bet the atmosphere suffers. All the extra fans will be glory hunters who'll start moaning if we're not 3 up inside 20 minutes. As someone who lives a long way away, this attitude really hacks me off! Maybe, just maybe, there's people who can't go every week but have decided to make the extra effort to be there to support the team based on recent success. And breathe... I was thinking of the character who stood near me at the last big gate. Raved like a loony all match criticising everything Rovers did. He quieted down at halftime & seemed quite nice but resumed when we kicked off again. I think he thought everyone was impressed with his knowledge of the game. I doubt it did anything to spur Rovers on though. Still, I suppose he paid his money so had a right to. Would have thought he'd prefer AG though. |

On the other forum they are discussing this subject and it has been posted there have been less tickets sold than at the same stage before the Gillngham Mach, which apparently had a family seating ticket offer.
Of cours, there's still a couple of days for stand seats to sell, but does anyone know how many walk up supporters we get, or do most people pre-buy for the early bird discount?

This months features an interview with Bob Franks who is this months ST holder. "Sometimes I get my gold, limited edition season ticket out, it was a personal gift from Wael, presented by Ian Holloway and has a motif showing the combined strands of DNA of the entire 89-90 team" "This item is the bare minimum as far as being a true fan is concerned, other than that I won't talk to you" |

Thought he had a shocker from the first minute, we were lucky it was an easy game to ref and not like the Gillingham match! |

Agreed- was just pointing out that it was that particular spell that killed the atmosphere. |

I don't get that logic, bad referees usually make for a better atmosphere when they give dubious decisions against the home team and there is a sense of injustice. |

We were playing well, piling on pressure then the referee made some shocking decisions and we stopped playing as well so the atmosphere went flat. |

Not sure the ref made many shocking decisions he was just basically useless, although I guess he got all the big decisions right and at least wasn't card happy.
